Gas or electric? Given the choice, many professional chefs and home cooks choose gas cooktops. But that choice could come with some health risks.
Consumer Reports just conducted a series of emissions tests on gas ranges and found levels of nitrogen oxides at more than double the standard for outdoor air set by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The gases can worsen asthma and other lung diseases, and may increase the risk of asthma in children. If you own a gas range, ventilation is important. A range hood is best. Turn it on every time you’re cooking, Consumer Reports suggests. And if you don’t have a range hood, open the windows and doors and use a fan to help the gases dissipate.
